no prior used in naive bayes classifier

[bmuller]

It looks like the prior probability for each classification is ignored in the Naive Bayes classifier. You should keep track of the number of times "train" is called with each class, and then use that to calculate the prior for each class: P(class) = # class trainings / # all trainings. You should then add Math.log(P(class)) to your log sum (score[category.to_s]) in your "classifications" method.

Without the addition of that prior you do not have a Naive Bayes classifier.
